So, as predicted by ALMOST EVERYONE I KNOW, our first attempt at using the Litter Kwitter on Elvis and Bear failed.

BUT hear me out. Apart from changing their shit box, we also changed the type of litter AND their food that week. So we left it for a few weeks.

Yesterday we decided it was time to try again. And after a couple of successful “shots” the boys pissed anywhere but in the litter. Poor Dan cleaned up after the boys a gazillion times. We cleaned the LK (if you use Litter Kwitter forum-speak) with one of those piss-smell-eliminator sprays and found God and prayed that the boys would have better aim.

And homigod, GOD MUST BE REAL.

At this rate, we might even make it through Day 3…

To tell tonight’s story, you need to know some history of our new place.

We moved in after Dan’s cousin, Van, moved out, it was well-known amongst the in-laws that we planned to apply to take over the lease when Van and Harry bought a house. Prior to that, Ruth, Dan’s aunt (and Van’s mother) cleaned this place. Van moved in here without knowing her mother cleaned it for the previous tennant.

And tonight after dinner up the street with TAFE friends (did I mention how much I love living in this neighbourhood?), we stood on the corner chatting before splitting up to go home. Theo, a former classmate then walks past and we have a chat. Somehow we discuss how I’ve moved in “into one of those places up above these shops”, only to discover that his friend lives above the shop next to us, so is technically our neighbour.

Oh, and before we started talking to Theo, we were talking about some Thai restaurant on King Street, and last time I ate there I saw Theo out the front.

Small world.

If you’re a geek and you know it, download BRAN. Ep53 uploaded yesterday.

To the left, to the left, to the left.

1. Clean house
2. Play Mah Jong
3. Catch up on this week’s Chaser ep and finish watching season 1 DVD
4. Find Harriet on MSN mission accomplished!
5. Find out why iTunes isn’t synching podcasts with my iPod
6. Watch the loungeroom wall leak
7. Spend my birthday $100 for David Jones and $40 for Howard’s Storage World

PS Is this not the best ever post at I Can Has Cheezeburger?

So I survived the exam last night (thanks, Krissy!) and even though I fucked up my neck from the two hours of  hunched-over scribbling, I was v content on sit on the couch with Dan and watch Oceans 12 (yes, we’re that far behind) with my last bottle of tart fuel.

But then we noticed that the loungeroom external wall was leaking again with all the rain pissing down outside. We now have a lovely contraption set up to minimise splashage with cut up gargabe bags lining the floor. Most surprising from the whole experience was that I didn’t turn into a stressed mess, thus proving that all this therapy is actually working.

There isn’t a better way to avoid exam study than a visit from My Mudfords, starring Miss Chloe

I have my final TAFE assessment for this semester tomorrow night, an exam on sackings, etc. How fun. I finished work early to study, but so far I’ve spent my time catching up with the jetsetting EmmaV on MSN and reading up on how life is kicking Becca’s family in the collective balls.

PS This house is so fucking cold and thank fuck for furkids who insist on lappage while sitting at the PC while I study pfaff about.

How’s your week been?

The Viral Video Charts has rediscovered the Evolution of Dance. It’s currently #20, but surely it can be #1 again? Sure beats Yet Another iPhone Ad.

Harriet wanted to know what I wanted as a housewarming present. Since Dan and I can’t agree on placemats (ie I’m not allowed to buy any), I asked for some cool-looking placemats.

Lo and behold, Harriet delivers.

Dan actually managed to keep his plate on the placemat, albeit with some grumbling. I’ve now safely stored them in our sideboard to make sure Dan doesn’t start using them underneath the cat’s food bowls.

I got so many awesome birthday presents this year from far and wide, I need to take photos of them all and show youse.

I got home from work this afternoon, I could hear Jet warming up across the street before their gig tonight.

Awesome.

Then I went to TAFE and after about 45 minutes, the teacher decides we should all go down to the pub.

Awesome awesome.

When we get to the pub, we see a band setting up and the guy says that Rai from Thirsty Merc will be joining them later on.

Awesome awesome awesome (even if I couldn’t be bothered to hang around).

Now I’m sitting in my loungeroom and I can hear Jet playing across the street.

Awesome awesome awesome awesome.
